Some level of control was maintained in the region, but with the influx of Parisian refugees, most of whom were doomed to die within the following months, resources were quickly overwhelmed. Because of the TGV Ligne Est, Poitou-Charentes faced a larger number of the estimated 6 million refugees from the Paris conurbation. Martial law continued with a heavy-handed curfew until 1987. Estimated re-settlement and treatment of refugees of the Paris/Le Havre/Caen bombings in Poitou-Charentes is estimated nearly 3 million, total, from 1983 to 1987.
